After all, it would be her or his own fault. Many people don't want to believe their stories, too horrible to be true. Step by step, I hear stories of the torture, babies abused, given away or killed. Trembling, sweating fearful that someone might hear when they spoke, they told the stories in chunks. Every now and then the tone or words changed, a small child suddenly telling his or her story in poor English. Interspersed with the person, I usually meet. Confusing, but incredibly special how the Lord has protected these people. It takes some, as suddenly I am embraced by one. Glad I am willing to put hours into that voluntarily. The other looks at me suspiciously and distances himself from me. This feels lonely. Meanwhile, I see the other suffering, struggling to still participate in ordinary life. The sadness of not really being able to live this life, because they are constantly living in fear. All kinds of people from the srm network haunt them, undermine their friendships, send disgusting messages and images or send people to torture and abuse them again. Are these people terrified that their secrets from the network will be exposed? Or are they sad that their desires will be hindered to earn more from these people big and small. After all, an innocent child brings a lot to this network. People want to see new porn images to experience the thrill they have been addicted to for years. I am committed to helping them build a normal life. Meanwhile, some police officers and judges are working against them. They do not give up their victims easily. Apparently, they benefit if these people remain trapped in their network. This should not be allowed to happen! The Lord's power and prayer will prevail in the end. But if good people do nothing, the evil powers will have free rein.  

Every step forward, by the one the network has survived, is a step out of darkness, and every new connection with a good person is a step of joy. I grant this to every person big and small. 

I am so grateful and happy to be supported by Friends of Esthers. That we can share knowledge. Also helping to establish a healthy network and being able to ask for prayer in my work is helpful. I really can't do this work alone.
